Abstract

This paper proposes to discuss the creative power of the reinvention process of trans bodies of the interior. We sought to discuss the interior territory, from a decolonial perspective, in order to present some processes of singularization of dissident bodies, territorialize and affirm their border existence from these territories. Thus, the experience of Tieta, a transvestite who managed insurgency tactics, will be presented, given the conditions of extreme vulnerability to which people trans were exposed in Vitória da Conquista, city in the interior of Bahia, during the period of the covid-19 pandemic. It is stated that, the trans bodies of the interior, in their disruptive potency, make possible the composition of new territorialities and practices of freedom, by moving away from regulations. In addition, they elaborate other creative expressions, new affective and sexual bonds, new knowledge and reinvent their existence around common ways of life.
